Gogoro is Expanding Its Fleet with 600 EV Smartscooters in Paris
Laura McQuarrie — May 19, 2017 — Autos
To expand upon the launch of its scooter-sharing service in Berlin, Germany, last year, Gogoro is now making a fleet of 600 EV Smartscooters available for use in Paris, France.
For this new initiative, Gogoro is again partnering with Bosch's Coup Mobility service, which makes it possible for users to place reservations and rent scooters easily with an app.
What makes the Gogoro EV Smartscooter especially appealing to urban consumers is that it does not need to be plugged in charged in the conventional way, which is time-consuming. Because the two-wheeled vehicles boast a replaceable battery system, riders are able to stop at their nearest GoStation and simply swap one electric battery for another to continue on their journey.
